About the MORINGA
Moringa oleifera is a fast-growing, drought-resistant tree of the family Moringaceae, native to the Indian subcontinent. Its common names include Moringa, Drumstick (due to the long, slender, triangular seed pods), Horseradish (due to the taste of its roots which resembles horseradish),and Ben oil tree. Moringa is a sun and heat loving plant, and does not tolerate freezing or very cold conditions. Moringa is particularly suitable for dry regions, as it can be grown using rainwater without expensive irrigation techniques. Moringa is grown in home gardens and as living fences in South Asia and Southeast Asia, where it is commonly sold in the local markets.
Moringa has been used for centuries due to its medicinal properties and health benefits. It has antifungal, antiviral, antidepressant, and anti-inflammatory properties. It is very rich in antioxidants and is the only plant that has all essential amino acids. Moringa is considered as one of the world’s wonder crop, packed with nutrients in all its plant parts.
